An additional 263 people London Recently died HatwaveScientists have estimated, warning Climate change Number of three times Heat related deaths in European cities,
Global warming, mainly due to burns of humans Fossil fuel And cutting the forests, made Europe In late June and early July, very intense, researchers found.
Heatwaves were up to 4C hotter in cities without the world climate Changes, researchers’ study of world -weather Attenration Group said.
The first rapid study was found to estimate the number of deaths related to climate change in a heatwave that the human-powered global warming was responsible for about 65 percent of the deaths in 12 cities including London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona And Rome.
The study found that about 1,500 of the 2,300 estimated heat deaths were the result of climate change – equal to the tripling of the number of deaths in the heat due to global warming.
Last week, temperature Amber Heat Health Warning was issued by the UK’s Health Protection Agency in London.
Researcher from Imperial College London And this London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (Lshtm) estimates that from 23 June to 2 July, Heatwave led to 263 additional deaths in London – 173 of these deaths were due to hot temperatures due to climate change.
During these 10 days of summer, a “heat dome” high pressure system in Europe trapped the warm dry air and pushed the temperature, as well as accelerating the heat by pulling the hot air from North Africa.
The scientists behind the study warned that the heatwaves were “quietly destructive” and their research showed that already dangerous climate change was only with 1.3C warming, especially for older and more weak people.
He also warned that his analysis focuses only on 12 cities, which provides only one snapshot of climate change-powered deaths across Europe, which may have reached thousands.
Researchers have used weather figures to assess the intensity of heatwave over their five-day period in a world, with a 1.3C warming and compared to cooler pre-industrial climate.
The analysis showed that the heatwaves were about 1–4C more than a world that did not warns 1.3C due to climate change.
The study found that climate change was responsible for 317 additional deaths in Madrid and 235 in Paris.
Most of the deaths were in old age groups, the researchers said, “Dying causes the face due to long, warm and more frequent heat, highlighting the rising risks in Europe.
